Very poor communication. Stuck outside property with no way to get in. Rude lady on other end of phone. Finally find a mobile number rang that another 20 mins to accsess property. He was helpful. Then couldnt access private parking. Until late at night. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom spotless. Heating good. Very very noisy from being on main street.

Property is in a great location and is well appointed. If I were to say a negative, that would be the shower / spa bath didn’t drain as fast as the shower , leaving a pool of water which eventually subsided and the leak around the taped shower frame which I hadn’t noticed until it contacted my dry clothes

Hot water is on some kind of weird timer and goes cold every 3 out 5 mins. You have t turn it off, wait 15 secs and start again.

Fantastic location, but the property is a bit tired; one of the blinds in the living room was broken, so at street level people could see in. However for us the main letdown was the room situation. You pay for beds, not rooms, and we were a bit confused when we got a message about extra bedding costs (even though we booked via Expedia for our party). It was quickly resolved and the communication was excellent. For a short stay this property does the trick, but longer stays may disappoint.

This has been the worst experience I have ever had in thirty years of regular travel. The property owner never provided access and I had to seek alternative accomodation. Last minute were also less than useless through out the process with no direct contact possible. I have put a stop on the funds via amex and expect a full refund

For the amount we paid we were really disappointed with the stay. The apartment is outdated, furniture is old,dirty and broken. Needs a really good clean all over. The ensuite shower is near un usable with the water turning cold every 30-40seconds, the shower still had sand in it from the people who stayed last. The crack on the sink area is just dangerous as 1/4 of the stone is completely broken. Communication was poor, we weren’t able to access the property until after 4pm. Wouldn’t stay again.

Great position, secure. No traffic noise. Shower over a deep spa bath could be a problem getting in and out for older person. Needs a bit of maintenance on shutters, doors. I like a room you can black out and that was a problem. A humming noise through the room I had.

The apartment is in a great location but was very dirty (crumbs from the last guests toast still on the kitchen bench, every dish/glass was dirty, sticky floors, dirty bath. I could go on and on) with nearly every fixture either broken, loose or falling off. The pool is not actually in the hotel next door and you need to book a time and walk next door to use it. We were told due to school holidays housekeepers were overwhelmed which i appreciate but we also pay extra due to school holidays. Overall really disappointed with the poorly maintained and dirty apartment

Location, brilliant, apartment also brilliant
The easy to use contactless check in is just the start of the great stay at The Waterfront Apartments. Firstly the apartment was perfect. Large and roomy living and dining area with a well appointed kitchen complemented the spacious bedrooms. A furnished balcony provided a perfect place to rest and watch the world go by. The location was perfect, right on the waterfront and close to a great selection of restaurants, cafes and hotels. You are one block away from Westfield shopping centre. Overall an excellent place to base yourself when visiting the region and one we would not hesitate to use again. One small word of warning, you get one free off street parking spot in the underground parking area - if you have a vehicle larger than a compact then getting around the carpark is not for the feint hearted!

Close proximity to water and conference venue was positive. Obtaining keys from letter box drop was problematic - poor lighting restricted vision to combination. Car parking space(s) and entrance ramps were restrictive Shower in ensuite had mold on grout. Vanity basin cracked. Unable to log on to WIFI - using passworb etc provided
